Greetings, Questions about using the 2021 Desktop version to Amend

Greetings, I downloaded the 2021 Desktop version to Amend the tax return. and I was not charged any fees for the license/ download., should I have been charged a fee or is it normal to be free, or was it included in what I paid back in 2022 for the Online 2021 tax return? Also, I originally filed it with the Online version. I have been reading the EULA for the Desktop version but it says: Under, Discontinuation of Policy and Software support it says: shall not be supported beyond October 15, 2024. If I use the Desktop version which is the only option it gives me to Amend the 2021 year, will it allow me to Properly Amend the 2021 Tax return or not?

There is no extra fee to amend your tax return unless the  change you are making requires you to use a higher version of the software than the version you used for the original return; in that situation you would be charged just the difference between the original software fees and the higher version fee.   The only way to amend a 2021 return is to use the downloaded desktop software, which is what has been provided to you.
